Panasonic Lumix FZ18
Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 by
biffo1261
Advantages: Large zoom, small size, extensive ISO rating and Leica lens
Disadvantages: No remote shutter release, facility, no auxiliary flash shoe, a little fragile.
...about say absolutely surprising. Panasonic have produced one of the longest digital lenses on the market yet they do not fit a remote shutter release facility on the FZ18; incredible! Just which of the designers made this omission? To use your long lens and tripod you have to make do with a Universal shutter release adapter Velcroed round the camera body. This in turn causes all sorts of problems when trying to access the controls. Panasonic - this ... ...same problem as all the Panasonic range in that the zoom is NOT available once the shutter is pressed. This means that you have to take the software-stitching route to make any form of useable video. However, given that this is primarily intended to be a still camera most of can live with that limitation.
There are far more facilities on this camera than can be covered by this review and I have tried to cover the basics, both good and bad.
All ...

Promisses much, delivers little
Review of Olympus SP-570 UZ by
piloteer81
Advantages: long zoom, high resolution
Disadvantages: fails to deliver and very dissapointing
...in compact cameras like the Olympus SP-570 UZ, a certain amount of quality is lost in the image. But with the 12x Zoom on my Sony, this was hardly noticable and more than compensated with by the increased versatility.
However, the above is not true of the OlympusSP-570 UZ. In short I found the pictures to be soft and lacking depth. Even side by side with my Sony H2 which is a two year old camera, both at auto settings, the H2 won hands down.
It ... ...likes of the Olympus 410 costing less than the 570, it's even more difficult to justify choosing the Olympus 570 over a low end DSLR. If the Olympus was £75 cheaper it might be easier to recommend but there are plenty of bridge cameras out there that perform equally well. ...

From the Edge of a Plantpot
Review of Fujifilm FinePix S5800 by
egan-wegan
Advantages: High zoom, super macro and looks
Disadvantages: Auto focusing can be a bit tempremental somethimes
When i opened the box for my Fuji S5800 camera about a month ago, I knew that I had made a good choice for my second camera. I still have my Pentax Optio S7 but I wanted a camera that would allow me much more creativity with my photos.
LOOK & FEEL
The whole look and feel of the camera is very pleasing to both the touch and the eye. The ruberized hand grip on the right hand-side is a perfect fit for the hand and the lens is just long enough ... ...The rest of the body is made from a high quality plastic which surrounds the lush 2.5 inch screen.
LCD SCREEN
The LCD screen is, well what can I say, brilliant maybe. I haven't really had much chance to test it in bright light but even if it was an issue, switching to the eyepiece couldn't be easier (the touch of a button). The screen is large enough to display all of the details in your picture and can display histograms, appature and the ...

Fujifilm Finepix S8000FD
Review of Fujifilm FinePix S8000FD by
lette2k
Advantages: Resolution, great zoom, easy to handle
Disadvantages: bulky awkward design
On the whole the camera is a bit bulky, however all your misgivings vanish once you switch it on. From the seemingly infinite zoom to the amazing 8 MPix resolution you can almost feel the surfaces of objects in the viewfinder, surface glare is reduced so that your shots don't get "whiteout" and the colours are vivid and very true to life. Amazingly easy to use, manual-phobics needn't fear this cam as it is really quite easy to operate once you accept ... ...was also a Finepix by Fuji, then you can basically do this asleep) Depending on what range of memory card you get, the SD memory card(option) holds at the very least 16MB, but you can go up to a gig if you are a real photo-buff, higher resolution pictures do take up more memory but the effect is worth it. A classic digital camera, which only loses a few points for its rather unattractive design, but worth every penny as it makes everything you point ...
